Most of polymer wastes is abandoned and not recycled. This situation causes serious problems such as wastage of natural resources and environmental pollution. Polymer products such as synthetic fibers, plastics and rubber belong to petrochemical compound and uneasily degrade in the natural environment. Plastic materials are not easily biodegradable even after a long period. In fact wide variety of waste materials can be utilized as inert in cement matrix. In this paper, T.V plastics are used as polymer wastes High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) for preparation of the polymer concrete (PC). The aim of this experimental work is to study the properties and characterization of polymer HDPE concrete (M20) with partial replacement of coarse aggregate. Utilization of waste materials and byproducts is a partial solution to environmental and ecological problems. Use of these materials not only helps in getting them utilized in cement, concrete and other construction materials, it helps in reducing the cost of cement and concrete manufacturing, but also has numerous indirect benefits such as reduction in landfill cost, saving in energy, and protecting the environment from possible pollution effects. Key words: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Compression test. INTRODUCTION Research concerning the use of by-products to augment the properties of concrete has been going on for many years. The potential applications of industry by-products in concrete are as partial aggregate replacement or as partial cement replacement, depending on their chemical composition and grain size. The use of these materials in concrete comes from the environmental constraints in the safe disposal of these products[1]. Plastic is everywhere in today’s life style .It is used for packaging, protecting, serving, and even disposing of all kinds of consumer goods.
